Direct Connect

[TaLeNT]

I am wanting to Direct Connect, but I have a router...I know how to open ports to allow programs to connect, but I don't know which port to open for LimeWire. And is it safe? Thanks for help in advance!

port forward to your computer using port 6346. LimeWire as well as any other network/internet application (such as browsers) are only as safe as you are using it. keeping a good firewall (hardware NAT routers are usually the best) and virus protection is always a good thing.

free adware/spyware remover:

AdAware: www.lavasoft.com

free antivirus applications:

AVG: free.grisoft.com
AVAST: www.avast.com

these applications have been known and recommended to be the best available. compare that to some program like norton that costs money and does not do as good as a job as those aforementioned apps.

That is a matter of personal preference ultracross you now I am not going to let you get away with that if I see it. Norton is equal in performance with the above mentioned in my opinion and has better user interface. But I do like all of the above they all work good.
